[issue18235] _sysconfigdata.py wrong on AIX installations

Reopening this to fix the original bug in 2.7, and to improve things for Python 3.

Michael Felt (or anyone else): Can you confirm if Michael Haubenwallner’s suggested patch from <https://bugs.python.org/issue18235#msg219888> is appropriate? It looks like that patch won’t apply directly to 2.7, but the spirit of that patch looks sensible to me for Python 2 and 3. I.e. don’t mess with the variables in _generate_posix_vars(), which writes them to a data file, but overwrite LDSHARED in _init_posix(), which happens at run time.
